MACHINE FOR MAKING STICK-CANDY.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 313,061, dated March 3, 1885.

App ii-atirn tiled Ju y 5, l8r4.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, THOMAS E. COPELIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ohicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machines for Making Stick- Candy, of which the following, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is aside elevation of my improved candy-machine embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a section on the line was of Fig. 1, looking in the direction indicated by the arrow.

Iiike letters of reference indicate likeparts.

'i'lic object ofmyinvention is to make asquare stick of candy, and I accomplish this, as will hereinafter more fully appear.

In the drawings,A A are suitablestandards or bearings for the rollers B and B, and on one end ofthe rollers B and B are pinions O O, meshing into each other, and on one end of handle, D, to give motion to the rollers B and B.

On the roller B, I cut agroove, a, and a corresponding groove, a, on the roller B, each groove being twice as wide as it is deep; and it will be clearly seen by reference to Fig. 1 in the drawing that when the groove (4 is placed l correspondingly above the groove (6 it forms l a complete square hole or opening. On the l face of the groove of the roller B,l have small i pins or projections, b, as shown.

I do not here intend to restrict myselfto one groove only on the rollers, as a series of them can be used with equal facility.

The operation is as follows: In making candy, after the material is ready to be formed into sticks it is first rolled and Worked by hand into long round strips about three-fourths of an inch in thickness, and it is then ready, by

using my machine, to be formed into asquare stick of candy. I feed the material into the opening on the rollers, and by turning the handle D revolve the rollers, and the projections 1) on the upperface ofthe opening grasps the material and aids in pulling the material through with greater facility. It will be clear- 1 y seen that after the material passes through the opening it issues in the form of a perfectly'square stick of candy, and the same can then be cut in suitable lengths.

Having thus described my invention, whatI claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a candy-machine, the combination of the rollers B and B, havin corres ondin a p a grooves, a and a, to form a square, as and for the purposes specified.

2. In a candy-machine, the combination of the rollers B and B, having corresponding grooves, a and a, the face of one or both of said grooves having pins or projections b, as and for the purposes described.
